Zeichner (teacher education, U. of Washington) and Liston (education, U. of Colorado-Boulder) examine the role of reflection in teachers' understandings of themselves, their practice, and the teaching context. They support teachers in exploring their own positions on educational topics and aims, and describe the assumptions and beliefs that make reflective teaching distinct from passive teaching. They discuss the evolution of reflective teaching, including the influence of John Dewey and Donald Schon; a theory of reflective teaching that takes into account the role of teachers' experiences, knowledge, and values; the role of teachers' practical theories and emotions; and different traditions of teaching, including the conservative and progressive traditions, the social-justice approach, and the spiritual-contemplative tradition (new in this edition); as well as the role of the teaching self, attending to students, and the social conditions of schooling in the reflective process. This edition has three new chapters and new case material; emphasizes the use of critical educational texts and film to encourage reflection; includes emotional features of teaching and reflection; and has a companion website with questions, activities, web resources, recommended assignments, and audio and video resources.
